Who's the Bad Guy? A Hilariously Confusing Look at *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero*
So, you watched *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero* and you're scratching your head, right? Who's the real villain here? Don't worry, you're not alone. It's a bit of a head-scratcher, even for seasoned Saiyan fans.
The Red Ribbon Army Rides Again (Sort Of)
At first glance, it seems straightforward: it's the Red Ribbon Army! Remember those guys? They were a pain in Goku's side way back when he was a kid.
They're back, with a vengeance... or at least, with some seriously misguided ambition. They're led by Commander Magenta, who's basically trying to revive the Red Ribbon Army's glory days. Good luck with that, pal!
Enter Dr. Hedo: Mad Scientist (But Kinda Adorable?)
Magenta recruits a brilliant (and socially awkward) scientist, Dr. Hedo. This guy is a genius at creating androids, but he’s also… a bit of a dork.
Hedo's so convinced he's doing good, fighting for justice against "evil corporations", that he doesn't realize he's being used by the Red Ribbon Army. Poor guy just wanted to make the world a better place, one robot at a time!
Gamma 1 and Gamma 2: Androids with a Hero Complex
Hedo builds the Gamma androids: Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. These guys are tricked into believing they are superheroes. They believe Gohan and Piccolo are evil.
They even have their own poses! It’s all very charming, if you ignore the fact that they're trying to pummel our heroes into the ground. Their sense of justice is… a little misguided.
Cell Max: The Real (and Really Big) Problem
Okay, so where does the *actual* villain come in? Well, Magenta, in his infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), decides to unleash Cell Max. Remember Cell from Dragon Ball Z? Yeah, this is like him, but bigger, badder, and… well, less complete.
Cell Max is more of a mindless monster than a mastermind. He's a giant, green rage machine who wants to destroy everything. Maybe he is the true villain.
So, Who's *Really* the Villain?
Here's where it gets interesting. Is it Magenta, for being a power-hungry fool? Is it Dr. Hedo, for being so naive? Or is it Cell Max, for just being a big, green bully?
Honestly, it's a bit of all of them. It's a chain reaction of bad decisions, misguided intentions, and a whole lot of ego. It is like watching a comedy of errors unfold.
Maybe the real villain is miscommunication! Everyone's got their own idea of what's right, and nobody's really talking to each other. Food for thought, huh?
The Heart of a Hero (Even in a Villain)
But here's the heartwarming twist: even some of these "villains" have a chance at redemption. Dr. Hedo, for example, realizes he messed up and eventually joins Bulma at Capsule Corp.
Even Gamma 1 and Gamma 2... well, let's just say they have a heroic moment (or two) before the credits roll. It reminds us that even in a world of superpowered battles, there's always room for a change of heart.
Ultimately, *Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero* shows us that villains aren't always mustache-twirling masterminds. Sometimes, they're just misguided people making questionable choices and giant green monsters smashing everything in sight. And that's what makes it so much fun!
